Unable to use Ventoy EFI files on my own partition
#7
Ok so I reordered the partitions and it got far enough to actually show me the error message.

Renumbered so the EFI is second and the EXT4 is first

fdisk output

Code:
Disk /dev/sda: 447.13 GiB, 480103981056 bytes, 937703088 sectors

/dev/sda5  937699328 937701375      2048     1M BIOS boot

This allowed Ventoy to show me the message. I assume this is what it was trying to tell me before but was corrupted.

The EXT4 partition appears to be > 2048 on the cluster size. I guess in the end, does Ventoy need the partitions physically arranged storage before EFI or should the partition numbering work?

I see this error is thrown because the storage partition does not start at 2048. So the number doesn't mean shit.

Please consider not hardcoding partition assumptions. I wanted to use Ventoy to compliment my already existing disk but I cannot without completely recreating from scratch.
